WINONA, Minn. — A man flagged down a passing police officer about somebody driving off with his car overnight. The man said he had allowed a homeless acquaintance to sleep in the car but not to drive. Now, about 8:20 a.m. in the 700 block of West Broadway Street, the car was gone. Police found the vehicle shortly thereafter with Daniel Nathan Langhans, 56, nearby. Police quoted Langhans as knowing nothing about any stolen vehicle. That, however, didn’t explain the car’s keys in his pants, police said. Nor, they added, did it explain the surveillance video of him driving up, parking the vehicle, and climbing out.
Langhans. Charged with auto theft, driving with cancelled license.
